I have an incredibly anxious dog, and I’ve gone to at least half a dozen “specialist” trainers over the years trying to find help for him. Katie is the first one to make any progress. She’s calm, confident, and completely aware of not only my dog’s needs and changes in behavior but also mine. Even in the first session, me and Ben improved, and the homework she assigned us has also been incredibly beneficial. I cannot recommend her enough.

I enjoyed the sessions and learned a lot. Kathryn made it easy to add the training into my schedule. She also responded quickly whenever I reached out and offered a lot of support

It’s great to have a place for my dogs to go where I know that they are having fun and being looked after. They even do a nap time! I never would have thought of that. “Enrichment” is the key word. I’ve noticed their reactive barking has reduced as well. Not sure how they did it, but it works!
